This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/smithsonian-collette-postdoc-ichthyology-2027
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A long application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a PhD completed before the fellowship starts
[ ] a research record in the systematics of fishes
[ ] able to work in person in Washington, DC for a year from February to June 2027

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 20 November 2026, in 29 days.
- Aim to send it by 17 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Nothing to apply.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
